The UNLV men’s basketball team returned from Hawaii with one less big man on its roster.
Goodluck Okonoboh asked to be released from the program and the Rebels granted the sophomore forward’s wish to transfer, the team announced on Friday.
"We appreciate all that Goodluck has done for our program," coach Dave Rice said in a statement. "We wish him the best in the future."
Okonoboh averaged 3.5 points, 3 rebounds and 15.2 minutes per game in six appearances this season.
The 6-foot-10 Rebel started the first game of the season against Cal Poly, but then asked to come off the bench.
